Please refer to FIG. 3 through FIG. 4 , in order to enhance strength of the mounting part 26, the second mounting portion 262 may also be welded with a reinforcing rib 263 at an end close to the first mounting portion 261. In this way, the second mounting portion 262 is better supported, so that the second mounting portion 262 may better bear a pulling force of the motor 21. In addition, the first housing 11 of this embodiment is provided with a rib plate 114, and an upper end of the second mounting portion 262 is clamped and fixed by the rib plate 114 of the first housing 11, so that a fixing of the mounting part 26 is more reliable.

Please refer to FIG. 5 , the first mounting portion 261 of the mounting part 26 is clamped and arranged between the second housing 12 and the base 4, and the base 4 is provided with a mounting plane in contact with the first mounting portion 261. A position of the mounting plane corresponding to the first mounting portion 261 is recessed toward an inside of the base 4. After the first mounting portion 261 is placed on the base 4, an upper end surface of the first mounting portion 261 is aligned with the mounting plane of the base 4. When the first mounting portion 261 is clamped between the second housing 12 and the base 4, the first mounting portion 261 will not interfere with the second housing 12 and the base 4. The second housing 12 is provided with a notch 121 for the second mounting portion 262 to pass through, and the second mounting portion 262 enters the first cavity 111 through the notch 121.

Please refer to FIG. 5 through FIG. 8 , in order to ensure that the mounting part 26 can reliably install and fix the motor 21, the mounting part 26 of this embodiment may be made of metal materials. And the first housing 11, the second housing 12, and the base 4 of this embodiment can be made of plastic materials to avoid the external charging of the power head 100, which is safer. In other embodiments of the disclosure, the first housing 11, the second housing 12, and the base 4 may also be made of other insulating materials. In this embodiment, the first mounting portion 261 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 2611, and the base 4 is provided with second mounting holes 41 at positions corresponding to the first mounting holes 2611. At the same time, two opposite sides of the second housing 12 are provided with a plurality of connection parts 124 recessed toward an inside of the second housing 12 at positions corresponding to the first mounting holes 2611, and the connection parts 124 may also be correspondingly provided with a third mounting hole 125.

And the entire power head 100 can be connected to an external equipment through these mounting holes. For example, the entire power head 100 is connected to an outdoor power equipment to drive the outdoor power equipment to work. It should be noted that in this embodiment, after the power head 100 is mounted on an external equipment, such as an outdoor power equipment, the output shaft 211 of the motor 21 extends in a horizontal direction, and the output shaft 211 may be parallel to a mounting plane of the power head 100 and the outdoor power equipment.

Please refer to FIG. 5 through FIG. 8 , in this embodiment, first protruding parts 42 protruding toward the first mounting portion 261 may also be arranged at the positions of the second mounting holes 41 of the base 4, and the first protruding parts 42 may be with an annular structure for the bolts 44 to pass through. The first protruding parts 42 can be integrally formed with the base 4, which means that the first protruding parts 42 are also made of plastic material. In this embodiment, the first protruding part 42 is inserted into the second housing 12 through the first mounting hole 2611, and after inserted into the second housing 12, the first protruding part 42 surrounds the third mounting hole 125. When the bolt 44, etc. are used for assembly, the bolt 44 passes through the second mounting hole 41, the first protruding part 42, the first mounting hole 2611, and the third mounting hole 125 in sequence. Since the first protruding part 42 is arranged, and the first protruding part 42 is inserted into the second housing 12, when the second housing 12 is connected with the base 4, the first protruding part 42 can define an insulation structure. The generated creepage distance can prevent electric charges carried on the motor 21 from being transmitted to the bolt 44 through the mounting part 26, thereby preventing the electric charges from being transmitted to the external equipment connected with the power head 100. A structural arrangement of this embodiment enables the power head 100 to have a better insulation effect and higher safety. With the structural arrangement of this embodiment, the motor 21 is insulated to ensure the insulation requirements of the mounting holes of the power head 100.

Please refer to FIG. 8 , the base 4 of this embodiment is also provided with a water leakage hole 43, and a side of the base 4 in contact with an external equipment is provided with a boss (not shown). In this way, when the power head 100 is mounted with the external equipment, the boss can define a certain gap between the power head 100 and the mounting plane of the external equipment. Water entering the housing assembly 1 can flow out from the gap between the power head 100 and the mounting plane of the external equipment through the water leakage hole 43, and the boss can reduce a contact area between the base 4 and the mounting plane of the external equipment, thereby reducing vibration transmission. The base 4 of this embodiment is also provided with a threading hole for connecting wires, data wires, etc. in the power head 100 to thread out for a connection with the external equipment. The threading hole is opened on the base 4. After the power head 100 is mounted on the external equipment, the connecting wires can directly enter the external equipment from the mounting plane in contact with the power head 100 of the external equipment, which can avoid large areas such as connection wires etc. from being exposed.

The air outlet 123 of this embodiment is arranged at a location of the connection part 124 and communicates with the connection part 124, and the air outlet 123 discharges gas in the housing assembly 1 through the connection part 124. An air outlet direction of the air outlet 123 may be spatially perpendicular to an air inlet direction of the air inlet 122. A location of the air outlet 123 is concealed, which can prevent water vapor, etc. from entering the housing assembly 1 from there.

Please refer to FIG. 10 through FIG. 15 , the motor assembly 2 of this embodiment further includes a second fan 27 arranged on the output shaft 211 of the motor 21, the second fan 27 is located near the air outlet 123, and the second fan 27 is arranged between the second mounting portion 262 and the first cover 13. A rotation of the motor 21 synchronously drives the first fan 22 and the second fan 27 to rotate. After the first fan 22 rotates to enable air to enter the housing assembly 1, the air passes through the second mounting portion 262 and flows out toward the air outlet 123 through the second fan 27. This embodiment adopts a structure of double fans, which can enable the air to flow more smoothly and quickly and is beneficial to improve the heat dissipation effect. The motor assembly 2 of this embodiment further includes a casing 23 sleeved outside the motor 21. One end of the casing 23 is fixed on the second mounting portion 262, and the first fan 22 is covered inside the casing 23. The casing 23 may be made of metal material to enhance the heat dissipation capability. The casing 23 can gather the air entering the housing assembly 1 so that the air can better dissipate heat of the motor 21. After the air enters the casing 23, part of the air flows through an inside of the motor 21 for heat dissipation of an internal structure of the motor 21. Part of the air that does not enter the inside of the motor 21 flows through a gap between the motor 21 and the casing 23, which further dissipates heat of the motor 21 and improves a cooling effect on the motor 21.

Please refer to FIG. 10 through FIG. 15 , the second mounting portion 262 is provided with an internal vent 2623 corresponding to a position of the motor 21, and air flowing through an inside of the motor 21 can flow toward the air outlet 123 through the internal vent 2623.

The external vent 2622 is arranged on the second mounting portion 262 around an outer periphery of the motor 21. In other words, the external vent 2622 surrounds the periphery of the internal vent 2623, and the air flowing outside the motor 21 flows from the external vent 2622 to the air outlet 123.

Please refer to FIG. 10 through FIG. 15 . In this embodiment, one side of the first cover 13 is attached to the second mounting portion 262, and the first cover 13 and the second mounting portion 262 are combined to define a volute-like structure. The volute-like structure is provided with a port 133, the port 133 communicates the above-mentioned air outlet 123 and has the same direction of air outlet 123, so as to guide the air entering between the first cover 13 and the second mounting portion 262 to the air outlet 123 through the port 133. A space between the first cover 13 and the second mounting portion 262 defines an air passage for air to flow, which means that the air passage for air to flow is defined in the volute-shaped structure. The port 133 is located at a tail end of the air passage, and the port 133 is located at the bottom of the first cover 13. An air outlet direction of the port 133 is the same as an air outlet direction of the air outlet 123. The second fan 27 is located between the first cover 13 and the second mounting portion 262, which means that the second fan 27 is located inside the volute-like structure. When the second fan 27 rotates, air between the first cover 13 and the second mounting portion 262 can be thrown out from the port 133. In this embodiment, the first cover 13 and the second mounting portion 262 are combined to define a volute-like structure, which enables the air to flow more quickly and smoothly.

Please refer to FIGS. 10 to 15 , when the motor 21 is started, the first fan 22 rotates and sucks external air from outside of the housing assembly 1 into the housing assembly 1 through the air inlet 122. Since the first control board 24 is located between the first fan 22 and the second cover 14, the air entering the housing assembly 1 first flows through the first control board 24 for heat dissipation of the first control board 24. The air is sucked into the casing 23 under an action of the first fan 22 for heat dissipation of the motor 21 sufficiently. This part of the air passes through the internal vent 2623 and the external vent 2622 of the second mounting portion 262 under an action of the second fan 27, enters an area between the first cover 13 and the second mounting portion 262, finally flows through the port 133 of the first cover 13 to the air outlet 123 of the second housing 12 and is discharged under the action of the second fan 27.
